As expected.

If this is even true, what can they possibly do next? Go back to Mars?

But that would involve not having Kudelia drain everybody's screentime.

>>13929185
They'd need a different director, head writer or animation director before trying out either of those things.

I was hoping if they made a second season, it would be about the calamity war or something.

>IBOFags have to scrape to the bottom of the barrel for a confirmation

This is pathetic.

>>13929235
THIS

>>13929233
No. Because there won't be a second season this fall since Nanatsu no Taizai is already scheduled to air in that same timeslot this fall after Boku no Hero Academia in the Spring and Arslan S2 is suppose to take over in Spring 2017 on that timeslot.

>>13929233
>Fall 2016
Seven Deadly Sins S2 is airing then and unlike IBO that got good ratings.

>>13929242
This anon is right. That's why I know that we aren't getting 2nd season of IBO.

>>13929235
If this is really getting a second season, I don't understand why they'd keep it a secret.

It won't be a second season it will be a movie

>>13929250
Well probably not on that timeslot since ratings wise its been doing pretty poorly so they'll probably move it to late night like G-Reco since that was a success on its timeslot. And I HIGHLY doubt we're gonna wait two full years for a second season, there was only a year of wsit time between 00 S1 and S2 same with GBF and TRY.

ITT: IBOfags BTFO

>>13929253
Me either. It'll probably get announced in the last episode or something but so far there's nothing that points to a continuation.

>>13929256
That would imply some sort of animation budget or the mythical "action scenes" though.

>>13929258
>wsit
*wait

>no Vassago to go along with Astaroth
>no Belphegor
>muh Phenex
I hope at least the MSV delivers

>>13929263
All the sources people point to saying there's going to be a second season are all just things calling this the first part. There's nothing that ever *directly* references or states that there will be a second part any time soon. Unless it's a timeslot change, there's no way the show will continue until Summer 2017, and this doesn't have the hype 00 had to keep people invested. Maybe that's why they're starting the side-story manga, but as it doesnt look like it has any connection to the show save for the setting, I doubt it will bring people back to watch IBO S2, if there is one.

>>13929273
You and me both pal

>>13929277
>there's no way the show will continue until Summer 2017
The only way I can imagine this happening is that the second season will happen in the same universe with a different cast.

>>13929291
>a different cast
And hopefully an entirely different staff

>>13929298
That was implied.

>>13929277
>A Gundam anime premiering the Summer
>Designated as the weakest season in terms of anime
As much sense does it make for something like IBOS2 to premiere at that time Banrise would want it to premiere in the fall or spring

>>13929222
Final episode is two episodes that is what they mean you gullible fucker

>>13929306
Then we'll have either a 2 or more year gap between the starts of Seasons 1 and 2. The longer they put it off, the worse it's going to do if the ending to S1 is bad.

So if an S2 actually happens, will they end up pulling a 00 S2 and throw in as many blatant MSG tropes as possible to try and regain audience?

How long until it turns out Kudelia knows the secret of an ancient long lost charter granting equal rights to all spacenoids and has Tekkadan help her hunt down that charter?

>>13929318
At this point, a IBO S2 filled with common Gundam tropes would be infinitely more entertaining than what it is now.

>>13929318
>throw in as many blatant MSG tropes as possible to try and regain audience?
It has already started with Ein turning into a Cybernewtype.

>>13929334
I can't wait until they travel across time in the finale.

>>13929323
This. S1 already has a masked guy and a Garma, so that's some of the hypothetical work done for them.

>>13929313
Furthermore, Unicorn is airing on TV soon, so they can't divert attention from that.

>>13929163
Is that Barbatos 2? I like it.

>>13929235
When was 00 S2 announced? After S1 finished, or during the last few episodes?

>>13929353
We knew it before the last episode for some time.

>>13929323
I liked 00 S2 though. IBO needs it more though.

>>13929343
Unicorn TV is just filler to promote the new novel and for Brave Beats cancellation and its also airing on an early morning timeslot so it won't get much attention anyways, if it was airing on Nichigo ala Yamato 2199 then Banrise would be shilling the shit out of it now.

If there is a S2, I really, REALLY hope it has a new production staff, and is like, set 30 years into the future (with a new cast of course), and Calamity War 2 is happening as a result of S1 ending up shattering the current united state of the world.

The different blocks already seem to be waiting to go at each others throats as it is, and Mars Independence could be seen as being the seed that causes other areas to want to break off too.

That would actually have the potential of being interesting.

>>13929323
This already is filled with common Gundam tropes, the only thing its missing is space hippie psychics.

Quality forever and ever.
This should be IBO's motto.

>>13929409
So instead of season 2 being as bad as 00S2, you want the series and its plot to turn into a badly animated 00 Season One?

>>13929197
Agreed.

>>13929208
>Damn, I thought this was going to be one season so I could ignore it
On the other hand, this just might be the first half of a Gundam TV series that /m/ actually think is an improvement... I mean, how bad could it be?

>>13929353
>>13929235

00 was announced as having 2 seasons from the get go before season 1 even premiered, not from Gundam Ace or Newtype actually but through external publications.


Honestly the most obvious sign we're getting a season 2 is how fucking slow the pace for the show became in episode 10. This looks like it was not planned for 2 seasons, but made with the potential that they could fuck with the script if they chose to do so. It does really look like a S2 budget was confirmed after the show aired the first several episodes and they started slowing down the story to accommodate.

>>13929323
This is sadly true.

>>13929476
what do you mean, they fix things in the Blu Ray/DVD release so that doesn't matter.

Do you not realize that most tv anime has lots of QUALITY and they want you to buy the video release for the actual final product with all the things fixed? 00 was notoriously full of stick figure humans

>>13929323
>At this point, a IBO S2 filled with common Gundam tropes would be infinitely more entertaining than what it is now.
It's like the reverse of Gundam Seed Destiny. People had high expectations for Destiny because the story had potential. Here is the reverse, people don't see how they could screw it up any worse.

>>13929498
>they fix things in the Blu Ray/DVD release
If only.

/m/ on suicide watch.

>>13929498
This isn't my first rodeo kiddo.

Explain why both Build Fighters, Greco and AGE all managed to be more consistent in quality before BR/DVD's? Clearly IBO is worse compared to it's TV contemporaries in this regard and I dont think the Blurays will fix all that much.

IBO cannot go 1 fight without doing something completely lazy in animation, and fights have them more off model then they are on model.

I can confirm that this not true especially when this was the age before two cour splits became a regular thing and you got a second season based on how well you performed. At most continuation speculation came about in the second half when the clip show came about and then we got a leak that confirmed it which is why everyone started freaking out when Lockon lost an eye and thought his new eyepatch look was going to be a new character design for S2 but little did we know he would die an episode later.

There are 20 or so unseen Gundams still napping somewhere that weren't destroyed in the Calamity War

I want to see them reawakened to fight in a new one, that's all

Now for the Orphans themselves, definitely wouldn't want them as Celestial Being 2.0

I'd rather they remain mercenaries, with some new recruits, fighting for a new contractor. Perhaps some decide to stay with Kudelia as the Independent Mars Defense Force. It'd be a good way to leave Mika behind for a new protagonist if anything. I really can't bring myself to like that guy, but he'd be a good oh-shit moment to bring out at some point

They're clearly referring to the first half of the cour, i.e. the first 13 episodes.

>IBO Season 2
I don't mind too much, the universe of IBO is interesting enough. the lore set in the story could be something very interesting but considering how they've been handle this I can't say I'm excited. if we got a director change, studio change, or writer change I might get excited but as of now I don't want more of bored orphans doing nothing.

INB4 Mikazuki pilots a gundam with a Ahab Reactor x3.

>>13929763
>or writer change
The fact this has happened has probably been the biggest problem after the animation tbqhwy

s2 could probably be saved if it doesn't have the cast of s1

kudelia sucks and atra might as well not be there
some goes for the entirety of the blood orphans

>>13929472
Nah man.

Final boss, for the very end of IBO, so end of this season or end of season 2 depending on how many seasons there will be, should be Gundam Baal. It should be the first Gundam made, and it's probably the prototype for all the other Gundams. It might be the strongest Gundam. That would make it final boss material.

It should also look sinister and have red eyes and shit.

>>13929792

No, but while she is credited with Series Composition, she hasn't written much of the actual episodes. I think she did the first four, and maybe something in the teens. There have been a lot of scriptwriter change-ups which probably accounts for the stuttering the show has.

>>13929703
Cool lie bro

WHY IS KUDELIA SO AMAZING?

>>13929819
Do I have to spell it out? The plot of the show is about Tekkadan's mission to safely escort Kudelia to Earth. They arrived at Earth last episode and are now preparing for another Gjallarhorn assault. We're approaching the end of the series and hence approaching its climax: the buildup from the previous episodes.

But hey, if you're that desperate to glean scraps of insider information from third-party episode descriptions, be my guest.

How dare you! Take that back.

>>13929926
You're trying too hard to read between the lines. It's ambiguously worded, not to mention unlikely that news of a second season would leak from a vague sentence in an episode description before an official source.

>>13929930
I think he's saying that, because of Sunrise's characteristic Engrish, when they say first part they mean the first part of the show, the first 13 episodes. Episode 1 - 13 was the first part that created the setting and the "plot", 14-18 was mostly filler, and 19 - 25 is the final part, the climax of the show. Climax as in the events that unfolded in 1 - 13 will have a pay off in the next few episodes.

I don't agree, but I can see why he might think that.

>>13929935
>>13929937
>>13929947
Well she's the main character, after all.

What, you thought that was Mika and Orga? Oh you poor thing. Who's had the most screentime? The most plot centered on them? The most backstory, the most interpersonal drama? Who's the most prominent in the current OP?

And then who's the back-bencher who mostly hangs in the background like a squirrel munching his acorns, waiting for his once-every-five-episodes chance to be relevant and fly a Gundam? He's just there to fill the 'lead pilot is a young man' quota.

You need to watch more Gundams or at least G-reco since you clearly missed where Ippei cobbled the parts from.

I'm still not entirely sure I believe this is getting a 2nd season.

Why /m/ has to always have a chorus of "REJOICE, [insert show here] IS FAILING!" I'll never understand. I don't want to believe you're all just so bitter about not liking something that you feel compelled to try and make people who like it feel bad, but it really does seem that way sometimes.

It's ASW-G-29 Gundam Astaroth, and it's for a side story. Some other info:

-Gundam Astaroth: owned by Volco, Argi pilots it. The only original parts left are the head and the Gundam Frame, the rest of the armor is a patchwork from different MS and so its appearance has become distorted.
-Argi Mirage: boy with a prosthetic hand on the right arm.
-Volco Wohlen: boy with a scar on his forehead, objective is to regain all the original Astaroth parts that are dispersed through the universe.

If they spend another fucking fifteen or so episodes in space doing jackshit after landing on earth I'm gonna freak out.

Did the Calamity War fucked humanity so much that they can't produce beam weaponry?

heck. Even a grunt suit from 00 s2 can destroy a gundam on this series

>>13931313
I wonder why people have such a hard time accepting the idea of a Gundam series without beam weaponry.

Of course, since people are retards from now on the idea of a physical weapon focused Gundam is going to be associated with mediocrity instead of being a good idea wasted on a bad series.

>>13929409
>That would actually have the potential of being interesting.

Season 1 also had tons of potential but got thrown out the window the moment they spent eternity traveling to earth.

>>13931313
No, it's the other way around; they had beams, then developed nano-laminate armor to fully diffuse beams, rendering beams entirely obsolete

>>13931372
Or maybe: They never invented beams because they don't have a magic minovsky particle.

>>13929836
This to me signals that nothing could've gone right in the first place. Too many chefs spoils the soup, and you go and hire Mari Okada, tell everyone she's going to be writing and then have her make the proverbial broth and then kick her ass out the door. One show, one lead writer.

2014 Series Sales By Volume

http://www.someanithing.com/1059

2015 Series Sales By Volume

http://www.someanithing.com/3059

And looking at the Quick Data for the series

G-Reco Average = 9012

IBO Average after 2 volumes = 10,734

>>13938890
Got a source for the stream numbers?

>>13938919
First volume was half price.

>>13938920
Yeah its called looking at CRs homepage and the Gundam info YT page

>>13938939
Don't bother, he's going to say it doesnt matter like event tickets didn't influence Cross Ange's sales.

>>13938939
And a promo code for a game.

So really then, they made more money off G-Reco's vol 1 than IBO's.

>>13938894
G-Reco's first volume number is a guesstimate based on Sound Scan since Oricon didn't fix their error. Second volume isn't the full amount either. Also good job omitting the fact that IBO's first volume was half price and came with a promo code.

>>13938965
I was just trying to show the numbers didn't soar up to the heavens from G-Reco's. Sorry I forgot the whole half-price thing, it slipped my mind.

And really, it's still kinda sad on IBO's part that after how much Banrise has spent hyping the show, trying to make it the next SEED or 00, it's doing around the same as the show they had no confidence in and aired in the middle of the night. Considering IBO's latest ratings are below G-Reco's average, some of the folks at Banrise must be shitting themselves right now.

>>13938949

This is something which I think a lot of people overlook

The series was meant to be big, it had a big push behind it and I'd even bet that a second season was always played and internally everyone knew that. However plans don't always come through, look at the BF OVA for example which was properly announced yet about if not over a year since announcement.

If a season 2 is in the works you can bet there is a fuck load of meetings about what they are doing with the brand

>>13939276
I think it's kinda telling that they're releasing the Astaroth as part of the regular IBO line and not a MSV line or something. I mean, it's going to be in a side-story right? Not in the main show. I guess there just isn't enough interest in IBO to warrant a separate line.

>>13939906
>Sunrise makes money from whole sale cost from the retailers
IBO was half off dumbass. It was through the distributor not the retailer who made the decision

I think there's one thing people forget when they say IBO has good kit sales. Look at the prices for IBO kits. About 1000-1200 Yen. Compared to what Bandai was charging for G-Reco and Build Fighters (Usually between 1500-2000 yen), that's very low. Barbatos is going for around the same price as SDs ffs.

So, when people are saying these cheap model kits are selling I just can't help but think "no shit." It a cheaper line that Bandai is going all out to push.

And yet, we're still seeing kits marked down.

>>13940438
On some sites online the Grazes, like the McGillis and the Graze Kai are going for 700 yen, which is just about less than 6 euros. When only a few of the older HGUCs kits are selling for that much, and the rest of them are usually at a steady 1,000 - 1,500 yen rate no matter the HG line, then they must be desperate to get more sales for the IBO kits.

All this reminds me of is the time /tv/ insisted Pacific Rim wasn't going to make it's money back up until the point the sequel got announced.

Hell, it's even more senseless, considering it isn't even company wars like in the mind numbing DC vs. Marvel threads.
You know what?
The money they make off of IBO might be invested into making something Gundam related you like? So why not wish it success.

But that's not even getting into the underlying point of:
WHAT THE FUCK IS IT TO YOU WHETHER SOMETHING SELLS OR NOT?!
It's not like your an investor or some shit.

>>13940503
>company makes dull and boring shit
>if it does well: "hmm, perhaps Gundam needs to look more like this in the future!"
It's that simple. Thankfully it looks like it's not actually doing well enough for Banrise to want to follow this path again but it has a lot to do with the future of the franchise, as does every single entry.

>>13940457
The alternative is Bandai made cheap kits in order to make selling the Iron-Blooded Arms packs easier. Like removing part of the game, reducing the games price to move more units and selling the removed part as DLC.

>>13940525
Unless they drum together the exact same creative team, the chances of another Gundam having more than a passing resemblance to IBO is highly unlikely.

I mean honestly, it's not like they started producing 00 clones just because that was the last truly successful entry the franchise had.

This is your autism, anon. Don't try to justify it.

>>13940533
Fact is there's nothing wrong with shitting on something bad. We're surprised that some people still try to push that it is a success without real proof.

>>13940551
Opinions about IBO not withstanding, there is definitely something wrong with arguing like an asshole no matter what the topic is.

There's certainly a lot more fans following online than the previous 2.

Besides model fags gobbling the kits, I'm starting to think the degree to which BF was received is not as high. The TV ratings, the internet activity, the non model merchandise sales including DVD/Blu Ray are all extremely poor.

Like if people think BF was an S rank for model kit sales, maybe it was in reality actually B rank.

Agreed wholeheartedly.

On the other hand, the typical Gundam fan is extraordinarily attached to tradition. Anything that's even resembling of an original idea gives them a fucking seizure.
For instance, this fucking idiot: >>13645338/>>13643559/>>13646433
>HURR DURR ALL GUNDAMS MUST HAVE RIFLES, SWORD AND SHIELD!!!! ALWAYS!!!!

While I don't actively hate the series like I do with SEED/Destiny or garbAGE, it's pretty clear that Tekketsu is fucking bombing.

Why is Sunrise/Bandai even going ahead with Season 2? It makes no fucking sense.

Their best course of action would be to cut their losses, accept the series didn't connect with audiences and just stop (finish the story with an OVA or something, if they really care about the plot). It's probable that there's a contract thing that forces all the parts involved to do all 50 episodes, which only serves to prove the lack of vision on the producers' part,.

Changing course at this stage means frustrating all the fans of the first series and make a mess out of the story (eg. Geass R2, 00). And it's not going to attract more people.

Maybe they had higher expectations for the show and Season 2 was always planned? Maybe the cheap line of Gunpla, a line which allows them to reuse a bunch of runners, moved a bunch of kits? Maybe while the show is doing poor domestically, they see it as vital as bringing Gundam to foreign markets?

Or maybe there isn't a season 2 and people are just assuming there will be one? The fact the timeslot is taken for the fall really makes me wonder whats going to happen.

who says it's required to be on the same time slot?

>>13929409

Yeah, but what's the story there? Don't try to struggle against an oppressive government or better your life and those of the people around you or you'll get millions killed?

Just kinda seems like a pointless story to tell.

I mean, I suppose if that's what you're into...

>>13942931
>While I don't actively hate the series like I do with SEED/Destiny or garbAGE, it's pretty clear that Tekketsu is fucking bombing.

All data says otherwise. Get out of /m/ more .

It has higher everything or equal to the previous 2 series which Sunrise has touted as successful.

> Maybe the cheap line of Gunpla, a line which allows them to reuse a bunch of runners, moved a bunch of kits?

None of the Gundams share runners. The frames are all slightly different requiring new molds. Only kit that's sharing runner molds are the Grazes.

It would look bad if it didn't have as good of a timeslot. Anything less says some very unflattering things about it's performance.

>>13943284
who says its planned for Fall? What if it's planned for Spring 2017?

>>13943308
> Implying Banrise would wait a year to air the rest.

>>13943308
>What if it's planned for Spring 2017?
Arslan is taking that slot and I HIGHLY fucking doubt we're gonna wait two years for it given 00 only took a year for S2 to air same with TRY

>>13943489
There was 6 months between 00s1 and s2, ditto BF and Try. The only year-long wait was for SEED Destiny, which was a whole 50 episode series.

And the whole "what if it's in another timeslot?" argument? Remember what happened to Gundam X? Giving it a worse timeslot is pretty much admitting "yeah. It didn't do so well where we stuck it before. We're not paying for that kind of timeslot and are now just hoping it'll work wherever we stick it."

>>13943697
He probably meant it was a year between the start of 00 season 1/BF and 00 season 2/Try

>>13943697

Except X's tv ratings were just barely worse than Wings. X's problem was it wasn't moving gunpla.

X's tv ratings only crashed when they moved it to its new timeslot.

>>13944150
X's average before changing the timeslot was 3.51%, Wing's was 4.25. There was already a noticeable drop before they moved it to where it got 1.21%.

>Maybe they had higher expectations for the show and Season 2 was always planned?
That's my theory, which only serves to defeat the whole idea of doing split seasons. If the series did not work, stop the whole project before it drains any more resources. Don't give it a second season "just because". It makes no sense financially. Whoever is making those contracts shouldn't even be running a fast food stand, much less overseeing TV programming.

>>13942974
>Maybe they had higher expectations for the show and Season 2 was always planned?
That's not the case, if a second season was planned from the start then it would have been offically announced already. Gundam series running for 40+ episodes are no more, we're not in the 90's. Bandai prefers to have multiple short series/OVA running at the same time than having one big installment which locks the studio for two years.

IBO will probably end with some sort of cliffhanger then continue a movie or two.

>>13947967
So, how long should we be waiting for an official announcement then? Just after the last episode? I'm still not convinced we're getting a s2, but you think we'd have heard something by now. Is there any talk on the Japanese imageboards about that magazine?

> TFW IBO ends with a two-part OVA like Buddy Complex.
